Just gonna put the pictures here for comparison (what I got it pic 2 & 4; 1 & 3 are pic from their website). The duck drummett in the trio Cochin is so over fried to a point where the meat is hardened & difficult to chew), & there's not much meat to begin with. The size of the salmon is also laughable compared with the pic on the menu. I do not recommend at all.

Excellent dining experience. The steak with frites were incredibly tender & full of flavor. The wine recommended by the sommelier was a perfect match for the meal. I finished with the a café machiatto which was delicious. Great food, excellent service, & a very enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The service was amazing, & the staff were very welcoming & kind.
The food was absolutely delicious, & the vibe of the place was really nice as well.

We'll definitely come back to this spot whenever we visit Quebec again in the future. This place absolutely deserves the recommendation!

El servicio es muy bueno, sin embargo, creo que los platos deberían unificarlos. Claro me gustó mucho. Mi Comida sí a excepción del aderezo de la Casa. Sinceramente no me gustó a mí. Siento que no combinaba con la carne. Me refiero a que deben unificarlos porque la persona de al lado de mí pidió el mismo platillo y su ensalada traía diferentes elementos que la mía. Pero de sabor, todo estaba muy rico a excepción de aderezo pero si lo pides. Aparte tú puedes decidir si te gusta o no y mezclarlo.

Went here for a dinner after a long day of sightseeing. Our server was great, food was good (though we didn't like the jus with the Philly sandwich nor the warm chips) & kids loved the cookies that came with their meal. Prices are reasonable & it's nice & big so had no wait.

Nous avons visité le restaurant avec un groupe formé de 39 jeunes ainsi que de 4 adultes accompagnateurs. Nous avions envoyé nos choix de menus à l'avance. Tout a été respecté. Le service était plus que parfait.
